 My name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food. In my household there's me, my husband, and our adorable two-year-old little boy. On our channel you'll find simple and tasty dinners using everyday ingredients. So I'm trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. It is a creamy tortellini soup and of course I'll leave the recipe in the description box. I have to make some modifications based on what I have or had on hand so I don't have any shallots in here which is what the recipe called for and I also don't have any carrots. So what I do have in my pot is a pound of hot Italian sausage that I cooked up with some onions and garlic. You just saw me add in some flour so I am just giving this a good stir and letting some of that flour cook out. So the flour has cooked out and what you saw me add was just some plain water and I'm adding some chicken broth. I have a carton of chicken broth here. I didn't quite have enough chicken broth for the entire recipe so I added some plain water and then I'm going to add in some bouillon in just a second. And this is what I'm using some better than bouillon and you have to keep it in the refrigerator. And so I've got some here. I'm just going to add it and I am just going to let this come to a simmer and then I'm going to add in my tortellini. I have some baby kale that I'm going to add as well and then some half and half. Okay so here is the soup. Howard and I tasted it. We just think it's okay. I did end up having to add some more bouillon because it just didn't have enough flavor to me just the regular not low sodium bouillon and I that is Harrison in the background and there is some great well not grated there is some shredded parmesan cheese on top. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So I am trying out a new recipe today. It is called Cajun Jambalaya Pasta and it calls for chicken salt well actually chicken and dewy sausage and I happen to have this in my freezer. It's from Trader Joe's. We're going to be trying it for the first time tonight. I've already cut it up into bite-sized pieces and then you're supposed to add some bell pepper and onions and mine are frozen. I have this in my freezer. I want to go ahead and use it. So let's get started. Okay I've got my sausage and veggies all browned. What I added was some garlic and then I added some flour. So now I'm just adding in some chicken broth and the directions say left this simmer for just a few minutes like three minutes and you can either use chicken broth or white wine and of course I'm using chicken broth so I'll be back. So it's been a few minutes now I'm adding in a can of petite diced tomatoes undrained and I'm also getting ready to add in half and half and milk and it says half a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning and I'm using this slap your mama. I'm just doing a little sprinkle and then it also says at this point to add in some hot sauce I'm not going to add in any hot sauce. I'll let Howard add in his you know additional hot sauce if he wants it. So I'm just going to let this simmer it says for about five minutes and next it says to add in 12 ounces of cooked pasta. I'm using vermicelli which is thin kind of like angel hair pasta and I'm going to give it a good toss. Okay so here is everything all plated up Howard and I tried it and we both said it is really good. I like the chicken it has a nice little kick to it. I will tell you that the chicken sausage does have pork casing. You know we don't have any versions to pork but just FYI I didn't realize that Howard saw it on the package. One thing I will say is I think there's too much pasta so it calls for 12 ounces of pasta next time I would probably just use half of that. I just think it's a lot of pasta so it kind of made it dry and then on the side I had some leftover hot dog buns so I just put some butter and Parmesan cheese and popped it in the air fryer so we're splitting a hot dog bun. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So we are having steak for dinner tonight and I decided to try something new. Normally I have baked potatoes with our steak but I decided to try a new recipe for steakhouse scallop potatoes. So I have a 9 by 13 pan and I sliced about two pounds of potatoes. I've tried to get them as even as possible and right now what I am pouring over the potatoes is heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper and garlic and now I'm going to add in some Swiss and Gruyere cheese. The recipe calls for I think it just calls for Gruyere but in my freezer I had some pre-shredded cheese and normally I would like to you know shred my own but using what I have so I'm sprinkling it on top and what the directions say is to pop this in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes stir it every 30 I'm sorry every 10 minutes and then at the end of that 30 minute period you're supposed to add the rest of the cheese plush some Parmesan and cook it for an additional 15 minutes so I'll be back. Okay so the potatoes are finally done it took forever I had to bake these in additional 30 minutes next time I think I would probably parboil them first and then bake them but they do have a really good flavor so with the potatoes I am serving some broccoli I had some fresh broccoli in the fridge and I cooked it in this this is just the top of the container of the butter steakhouse butter and I got it at Winco a while back ago I didn't put anything else on the broccoli but this butter and it is really good it has a wonderful flavor and then here are the steaks so in my freezer I had some beef steaks that my parents gave to Howard and I they bought half a cow or something like that so these are beef club steaks and then I had a smaller package of beef round steak and it's boneless so Howard used this to season these steaks and then I just added some teriyaki sauce to these so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time. So quick and easy dinner tonight we are eating from our freezer I have this in my freezer it is from Aldi I bought it a while back ago so we've had it before and we liked it so we're not big fish people this is pretty good popped it in my air fryer and here it is on the plate and we are having it with some canned corn this corn is from Trader Joe's and it is really very good for canned corn it is actually really sweet and crisp it's absolutely delicious and then we had some leftover scallop potatoes from the other day and so we are having that so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time so for dinner tonight we are having wings I had some frozen wings in my freezer and that is what we are having so we season them two different ways this is lemon pepper and this is the seasoning that I use for it Howard does not like lemon pepper at all so these are all me and then he is having jerk wings and we are using our favorite walkers wood jerk seasonings hot and spicy it is really good and then for the sides I just made some green beans I added in bacon and onions and then we're just having some Kraft macaroni and cheese so this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we will see y'all next time
